Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I like it, but it is one of his worst. I am a brainwashed Spielberg loon though. He's hooked you good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Spider man 2! Spider man 2! How dare you disgrace the greatest superhero movie of all time in that way! But the Dark Knight isn't on that- Oh wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsa Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Luckyly LOTR won't be on this list, that's why I love tele But if for some reason LoTR is on this list.... MrPink won't be your only problem. Edited January 21, 2015 by pepsa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Weirdly, I'm actually 5 for 5 with Tele's list. (Not seen the Graduate, Prince of Thieves, Scarface or any Judd Apatow (directed) movies.) Admittedly, I do still like the films mentioned, but I agree with Tele in saying they're overrated and I completely agree with his reasoning (even for TDK which is one of my favourites of all time). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) 16. Mrs. Doubtfire Schmaltzy. Insipid. Puerile. Hammy. Directed with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the jaw. One of those movies where characters act beyond all logic just to fit the loopiness of the plot. Robin Williams is always good when doing wild impersonations and letting it all out there, but it's a pretty one-note performance, and the only redeeming quality in this festering pile of steaming dung.

Empire Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I totally agree about Doubtfire, but I still kinda enjoy it even though it is bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 19. The Dark Knight ... Nolan manages to end on a high note, which is why I think most people tend to forget, ignore, or forgive the awkwardness. Something I've been thinking about recently is how Nolan seems to know perfectly how to end his movies. Most of them have an extremely memorable final shot/moment. It makes his comment about how real movies don't have post-credits scenes or whatever make a lot more sense. 17. The Graduate ... I remember seeing a list many, many years ago about the greatest/most memorable lines in movie history. "Plastics!" was one of them, but I really don't get it. It must have been another "before my time" moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Baumer already did the Marvel movies, so I'm purposefully avoiding those. But expect for the Avengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This is very much a spur-of-the-moment list and it's almost certain that if I were to do it again at a different time, the order might be somewhat different and even some other films might make an appearance. Here are a couple more that were under heavy consideration and didn't quite make the cut this time: A Beautiful Mind Star Trek (2009) The Sound of Music Men in Black Independence Day Don't you dare bring independence day into this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Nah, someone already did that one. (It would've made my list, though). Makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Mrs. Doubtfire is a decent movie. Haven't seen it in years though. (Though the fancy restaurant they go to? It's in my hometown. The rest of the world probably assumed that it was actually IN San Francisco.) Williams did other, much more schmaltzy, insipid, puerile, hammy, directed-with-all-the-subtlety-of-sledgehammer-to-the-jaw movies. Cases in point: Jack, Patch Adams.
